Words of wisdom.... NEVER RUSH WHILE WORKING WITH GLASS.

 

[epiphytes etc.]

Man, how'd you manage that?

That sucsk, If it were me i would get some glass and build a euro front and top....an option and would have a nicer look I think.

Be thankful a few pints of your blood are missing from that picture.

Ouch how did that happen? I suppose you can still use it I would anyhow.

 

[mordoria]

Bummer.
At least you can still make it euro style.

 

[motydesign]

Those things are made with such thin low quality glass, sorry that happened. Look forward to the euro build

If you had to you could cut a new bottom piece and turn it back into the EXO but if I had the chance, I would bust out the front of all my tanks and add sliding fronts or single removable panes.

I got three of these from craigs list, they were dirty, old and in terrible shape. So I was trying to remove everything to reseal everything back up. I did one with no issues, tried taking apart my other one, and pulled too hard without scraping everything fully. And BAM. Exploded all over the place. Just glad I didn't cut myself. Already got a new section cut out. I'll be replacing it after hamburg.

Is there any posts on that conversion?

That's a real bummer! Well hopefully you can salvage whats left from the tank and make a new one...

Ouch! Glad you're OK. At least they're mostly big pieces. Easier to clean up. I once tried cutting a piece of glass that turned out to be tempered. It ended in a shower of little glass pieces flying everywhere.

Definately looks like a good starting point for something new. Keep us posted as to what you end up doing with it.
